Answer:

Im not quite sure but I think it is either 10, cause it says there are 10 fish in the tank. Either that or 8 (ill explain)

Explanation:

1 died, but that doesnt mean it was taken out of the tank. 3 swam away, but if they are in a tank they probably just swam to a different part of the tank. 4 choke on water, but that doesnt mean they didnt recover. however, the "2 are breathing" part got me confused since the definition of breathing means taking in air and expelling stuff out...fish "breathe" water so it didnt make sense. So, if you include the 2 breathing fish there are 10, but if u dont there are 8.

I really hope this helps :)
